Catholic school teachers maintain pay rise push

North-east Catholic school teachers have vowed to continue their push for a pay rise and a change to their conditions.

Teachers from schools across the region say they are yet to reach an agreement with their employer, the Catholic Education Commission.

Independent Education Union representative Andrew Mckenzie-McHarg says despite Victoria's state school teachers reaching an agreement over wages and conditions earlier this year, Catholic school teachers are not being shown the same amount of respect.

He says there are a number of sticking points the union considers unsatisfactory.

"The Catholic Education Commission of Victoria, our employer, have been unwilling to move from those positions and those positions relate to some conditions relating to office admin staff, long service leave entitlements and sick leave entitlements," he said.
